The weather outside is frightful, but inside it's so delightful. As the song goes (sort of). I have been spending my time baking bread from the new book I got for Christmas (thx, Luke) and working on the jigsaw puzzle spread out all over the dining room table. Extremely detailed and colorful scene of Time Square. 750 pieces. To be finished by New Year's or else. [NOTE: Peter Reinhart's Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread is truly a marvelous cookbook. If you really want to get the most flavor out of a grain of wheat, "pre-ferment" and "slow rise" is the way to go].
